So the intention was to fully just relax and take it easy
Saturday because it had been a long day on the Friday with all of the
excitement – good excitement, mind you!
Which was instantly washed away when Emily started talking
about something she and Christopher were going to do in the fall and I though,
hmm… I should look into that!
Which then lead me to this:
Yessiree… I was lucky enough to score a last minute ticket
to go to the Warner Brothers studio to see the HARRY POTTER tour!!! Apparently
I was extremely lucky to get a ticket, traditionally you have to book months in
advance!
The tour was nothing short of outstanding. You start out in the great hall and then
self-guide yourself from there. Having
worked at a tourist attraction for four summers while in university, I tend to
be a bit jaded at some attractions, but this one blew my mind away. It was superb. The amount of props/sets/costumes/graphics/vehicles
that they have preserved is phenomenal.
If you do find yourself in the London area in the next few
months I suggest going! Apparently it’s
going to be scaled down somewhat after that, although I don’t know all of the
details.
Normally I would narrate everything, but I think this time I’ll
caption the pictures and let them speak for themselves.
